Abstract:A method of compensating the satellite vibrations in intersatellite laser links was presented.The satelite vibrations were detected using a CCD instead of the traditional angular sensors,so the tracking system was simplified.The angular errors from the satellite vibrations influence the beam tracking,while they can be well compensated by a feedforward control system.An experimental study on the vibrations compensation technology was performed,and a vibration simulation device and a feedforward compensation system were built in the lab.It shows that using a CCD with the sampling frequency of 1 kHz,tracking errors can be reduced by 71 % after vibration compensation when the frequency of angular vibrations is 100 Hz.
